What does your state call your carry "permit"?

[ISCS Yoda]

I could do a poll but I won't. Too many people can submit the same answer. There are not that many choices.

CCW - Concealed carry weapon - as I understand that term, in Florida, anyway, it means once you have that license you can carry ANY weapon concealed, gun, club, knife, etc. True or no?

CHL - concealed handgun license

LTC - this is the new name in Texas for a handgun carry license so that both open carry and concealed carry are included. It was CHL before that.

CHP - Concealed handgun permit. It's an interesting distinction, in my mind, between a permit and a license, technically, but the result is essentially the same.

There are at least three or four more different names. I suppose I could look it up but it's more fun this way.

In Pennsylvania it's called a Pennsylvania License to Carry Firearms.
The License is applied for and received at the local County Sheriff's office and is a same day in and out application to receive, no muss, no fuss unless you have been found to be ineligible for what ever reason!

In Maine it's called the US Constitution.

There's also something called a Concealed Handgun Permit for those unfortunate folks who wish to travel in non-2A-compliant states.

In Kentucky it's called a "Concealed Deadly Weapons License". So I can also carry an ice pick if I prefer.

In Taxachusetts, it's called an LTC ("License to Carry"). There are two types right now... LTC-A (high capacity) and LTC-B (non-high capacity). That difference is going away in the future. There will only be one license, it will allow high capacity, and it will be called an LTC.

Note that all high capacity magazines must still be pre-bans.

Texas - CHL

LTC - really?

FL has a Concealed Weapons and Firearm License--CWFL. Covers just about anything.

In Georgia it's called the Georgia Weapons Carry License and allows you to carry any legal weapon of any kind.

In North Carolina it's called a CHP. Concealed Handgun Permit.

 

[ISCS Yoda]

Texas - CHL

LTC - really?

Really.

As a matter of fact, a friend of mine just renewed his "CHL" and his new license says "License To Carry" on there, plain as day. Mine still says "Concealed Handgun License". It will be several years before I get an LTC.

Thanks for those replies - all very interesting - and don't we all wish it was as easy as in one state that understands the Constitution.

Got a Class A due to the regulation of owning an 1100 shotgun that is capable of being converted to handle more rounds than standard. Pretty sure that was in the nonsense a while back.

CHP in Colorado

In San Diego, California it's called "damn near impossible".... it is totally at the digression of the county sheriff, a rabid anti-gunner

 

[woodsltc]

In Tennessee it's a "Handgun Carry Permit" & as such a person can legally Open Carry or Conceal Carry.

None of the above. State doesn't offer one, doesn't require one - never did.
The Vermont Constitution and U.S. Constitution cover it all, and have for over two hundred years!
